A Happy Death

"Nothing is more uglier or more degrading than sickness".
I have mixed feelings regarding this book. I like it but didn't adored it, something is missing. Few pages left me in ambiguity and there's a lot of repetition about his women talk & life. Though an interesting read, not brilliant like his other works but still a decent book.
(I know the reason after reading the articles about it)
Camus didn't publish it in his life, his widow do that, after 10 years of his death, there must be some reason behind not publishing it, only he & THE Creator of all of us knows that. In some articles it's said that basically this book is a draft of The stranger. Few took it as a predecessor of 'The stranger'. God knows what's the truth.

Thanks Frank. I haven't read the outsider yet. But now I'll read for sure

This was merely Camus's groundwork for 'The Outsider', which is much better and I would strongly recommend reading that if you haven't already.
